Instructions for presenters

Instructions for oral presentations

The total time allocated for a presentation is 15 minutes including Q&A and time for change over (maximum of 12 min presentation). Please adhere strictly to the 15-minute time limit to ensure fairness to all presenters and maintain the session schedule.

Presentations in .ppt format, pptx. format and .pdf format will be accepted. Please note that while there is no specific template, presenters should use a 16:9 aspect ratio to optimize display on the conference screens. If you have created your presentation in Apple .ppt, please test it on a Windows PC to ensure that it displays correctly. Presentation files must be delivered to the Speakers Ready Room no later than one hour before the session.

Please meet your session chairs inside the conference room at least 10 minutes prior to the beginning of your oral session.

Instructions for poster presentations

Your poster should be upright/portrait style with DIN A0 format: width: max. 33 inches (84 cm), height: max. 47 inches (119 cm). There is no specific poster template. However, presenters are encouraged to use a clear and concise layout with easily readable fonts and graphics. Please make sure that letters are sufficiently large to be read from a distance of 1 to 2 m.

The on-site attendance time, i.e. the actual time the author is expected to be by their poster for presentation, will be indicated in the final program. Each poster will be standing for 2 full conference days.

Poster Mounting & Removal times will be stated in the final program and communicated by e-mail to all presenters. Posters that are not removed at the designated removal time will be discarded. The conference organizers are not responsible for posters left after the removal time.
